‘Victoriana’ 5e Roleplaying in a Time of Revolution – Live on Kickstarter Now
Available on Kickstarter today! Dive into a rapidly changing world of magic and technology in Victoriana from Cubicle7 – now for 5e.
From the award-winning team that brought you Uncharted Journeys, Doctors and Daleks, and Adventures in Middle-earth comes Victoriana for 5th Edition!
It is 1887 – the year of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee — a time of opportunity and oppression, evolution and revolution. Navigate the tempestuous aetheric smog of industrial London as technology, magic, and social class clash. Which side will you choose?
Immerse Yourself In a Changing World
Fantastical folk and strange creatures walk the streets while Wyvern riders and commercial aerostats dot the skies. Magic and science coalesce in magnificent technological advancements. Old social orders creak under the strain as the balances of power move. The world is in upheaval, change is coming, and everyone will have to choose a side.
At the heart of the setting are the Irregulars, called by purpose, compassion, or duty to steer a course through the turmoil and guide the world to a better future. They are prepared to stand and be counted, to do what needs to be done. Tracking down a ruthless killer in the rookeries of Whitechapel, overthrowing greedy bourgeois captains of industry in Bermondsey, or throwing a wrench in the plans of desperate nobles attempting to summon evil gods in Kensington Gardens – Irregulars will be found where they are most needed.
Adventures in 5e
You’ll play Irregulars from all walks of life, from workers who have spent their lives toiling in factories owned by the wealthy to professional artificers and scientists fascinated by new gadgetry or ancient nobles with magic in their veins. They protect people from dangerous monsters, insidious secret societies, and world-ending entities.
Cubicle7’s approach to 5e development means they integrate the setting-specific rules extensions into the 5e engine, so you get a game that fully captures the themes and flavor of the world while still feeling like the ruleset you and your group are familiar with. In Victoriana, this means you’ll be getting:
- Enhanced rules for social interactions and investigation
- Broader rules for conflict resolution – win with clever words or ingenious plans
- Wondrous steampunk gadgets
- New character classes, backgrounds, and options
